Delish! I used ghee instead of oil for the seasoning. I made the hari chutney and it was delicious. I think I used a little more than I should have because the kids said it was too hot. I would recommend using about enough to taste for kiddo palates, then adding a little more hari chutney for mom and dad palates. The lemon-ginger garnish was wonderful and flavorful.

Hello Auntie,
Thank you very much for this recipe. My friend from Gujarat loves it. My cooking day is on Wednesday. I want to make this and freeze it so he can eat it on Sunday. Will it still taste OK? I also froze the Hari Cilantro but it’s been about a month since I had any of those, which are in the ice cube trays. Are those pieces too old to use now? How long can one freeze chutney and use it? When does it go bad? I’m tempted to use it for the soup again but I know fresh is best.
Please let me know.
It is delicious. We both enjoy your show and family stories.

hello manjulaji
I tried this recipe..the outcome was delicious..I made a lil changes – After pressure cooking the dal, i let t cool and then poured it into the blender with a pulse or two. Then i boiled it n stove top and to that I added 1/2 tsp store bought green chilli chutney, 1/2 tsp pudina or coriander chutney and garlic powder..and served t with bread chunks…

Thanks for the recipes!!! I just got back from meeting my soon-to-be parents-in-law in Kolkata, and my partner is craving moong dal. It turns out I didn’t have most of the required spices for the Moong Dal Soup, so I made a Chicago twist on it! I boiled the dal with salt, celery salt, cumin, black pepper, and a little bit of veggie oil. When it was done, I stirred in a tablespoon of butter. In a separate pan, I fried some bacon and chopped onions until they were brown and crispy. I served it with the bacon and onions on top, and voila! It was a big hit!
